The Fernburner returns!

July 20th, 2011, 01:07 PM

After a much needed year off, The Inn at Lucky Mud is happy to announce the return of the Fernburner tournament on Saturday, August 27, 2011. This will also be the unveiling of our new tee signs with the money raised at last year's "FernEarner" fundraising tournament (thanks Tim).

This year we will open roughly 30 spots to the general public but they will go fast as we cap the field at 72. Differences in this year's Burner will be a second round safari nine (some long par 4's and EPIC!) complete with tee times. These are all new holes and anyone who has played there knows Mud was built for this knd of thing so it should be sweet! We will also be doing a throwbot competition for added fun/chaos!

If anyone out there has ever wanted to attend this tournament this is your chance as it's really the first time we've opened it up! For the record, all the ladies that throw will get special consideration on getting in as at some point we want to hold a very upscale and large women's only tournament, so please sign up ladies!

If you show up Friday there will be random draw doubles beginning at 5 or 6pm.

WOO!!! I haven't been playing much lately, especially tourneys, but I'll gladly dust off my discs for this.

BTW, anyone registering by paypal (for any tourney, or friendly transaction, really), make sure you send the money as "Payment owed" under the Personal tab. That way TDs don't get dinged with paypal fees.

Sorry, folk. I will miss this one again. I hope in some year to come that this is not scheduled on the same weekend as other major tournaments. Have fun, everyone. Hope to get back to the Mudd for a tournament some day soon... so I can knock the trophy table over again.

ďI believe I can hit 18 greens, hit every fairway, you know ó Vision 54, which means you birdie every hole, thatís in the back of my mind. I want to putt better, chip better. That day when I hit 18 greens and one putt, Iíll know Iím a complete golfer. Will that ever happen? Iím not sure, but itís possible. The 54 vision is always in the back of my mind.Ē~Annika SŲrenstam

Oh you know it.... but I am losing my main sponsor (Phillip Morris) when I go to sleep tonight. That will still leave other sponsors like Millstone, Bridgeport, Rogue, Deschutes Brewing, Lagunitas, Russian River, the Cascade Barrel House, Jimmy's Bar, Ninkasi, Plaid Pantry and some others...

It's good to have these sponsors without them knowing it. Saves them some money but ends up costing me...
